In this Carlos Unfiltered episode, I sit down with my co-host, Shirin Hejazi, to talk honestly about anger – how it once protected me in prison, and how I’ve learned to transform it. I share how my anger started in childhood and became a survival tool in a world where it felt like currency. Over time, I realised it didn’t just destroy, it held energy I could redirect. Now, instead of reacting, I use tools like the STAR method (Stop, Think, Assess, Respond) to create space before I act. Co-host Shirin and I also discuss the routines, like daily workouts, that keep me grounded and support my mental and emotional well-being.
